Genus Amphinotus, nov. 
Stature small and apterous, with the head moderately exser- 
ted. Vertex wide, subwidened forward, strongly wider than one 
of the eyes, bifossulate forward, submammilate between the pos- 
terior part of the eyes, the frontal carinulae laterally little com- 
pressed, abruptly terminated but not cuspidate, open each side 
of the mid-carina, middle carinate forward, compressed and 
little produced; face little oblique ; eyes prominent, rather small, 
viewed from above subpedunculate and reniform; frontal costa 
strongly sinuate between the eyes, rather widely furcillate, not 
forked above the paired ocelli, the rami compresso-elevated between 
the antennae; paired ocelli placed nearly on a line with the lower 
border of the eyes; antennae rather short, filiform and inserted be- 
low the eyes. Pronotum truncate anteriorly, subtectiform forward, 
deplanate posteriorly, hind process abbreviated and truncate at 
the apex; median carina compressed, strongly elevated between 
the shoulders ; humeral angles wanting ; lateral carinae of the pos- 
terior process compressed ; posterior angles of the lateral lobes 
of the pronotum oblique, the angle little prominent outwards and 
obliquely truncate behind. Elytra and wings wanting; legs 
elongate ; the anterior and middle femoral margins undulate ; pos- 
terior femora armed with denticles on the external longitudinal 
carina, the middle denticle compressed obtuse triangularly ele- 
vated ; hind tibiae armed with spines ; the first joint of the pos- 
terior tarsi strongly longer than the first, the three pulvilli often 
planate below and equal in length. 
The type is Amphinotus pygmaeus, sp. nov. 
This genus recalls the Cladonotinae in some respects, yet it 
is near Mazarredia, Bol. It differs in the subsessile eyes, wider 
vertex, lower position of the paired ocelli, absence of the humeral 
angles, less laminate posterior angles of the lateral lobes of the 
pronotum, the absence of elytra and wings, and iong first joint of 
the hind tarsi. 
Amphinotus pygmaeus, sp. nov. 
Body very small, one of the smallest known Tettigids; coloured 
greyish, with two black bars marking the sides at the base of the 
hind process, divided by an oblique lighter line. Head little ex- 
serted ; vertex very wide, front not advanced as far as the eyes, 
widened forward between the anterior carinulae, about twice 
the width of one of the eyes, bifossulate forward, and bearing 
small submammilate ridges just behind the fossae, frontal carinu- 
lae rounded, but abruptly terminated at the inner sides of the eyes
